* Grew up in Belgium, right in the heart of Europe. This gave me the chance to travel and explore a lot of European countries while I was growing up, which contributed to my passion for meeting new people from different countries and learning about other cultures.

* Started travelling overseas and living in different places after graduating from uni in Belgium.

* Currently living and working in Squamish, Canada, a little town in between Vancouver and Whistler. I'm studying environmental science at UVic and love nothing more than going out in nature to hike/climb/kayak/camp in summer and ski/snowboard in winter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people from all over the world; it's always great to get insight and tips from locals.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I can appreciate almost every genre, from rock to electro to indie to RnB to drumNbass to jazz, even a cheesy pop song now and then is ok for me. A few of my favourite bands are Pearl Jam, Beatles, Børns, Crystal Fighters, The 1975, The XX, Frank Ocean, Sticky Fingers, Maroon 5, RHCP, Foo Fighters, Flume, Alt-J, Blink 182, Fleetwood Mac, CocoRosie, Chet Faker, Katchafire

Movies: I absolutely love watching movies, it's a daily activity for me. Some of the best movies I've ever seen are Spring summer fall winter and spring, Lion, Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, El laberinto del fauno, Léon the professional

Books: I enjoy reading, but my commitment comes and goes in waves. Some books I just can't put down, such as Shadow of the wind, Millennium Trilogy, Harry Potter, The Kite Runner

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in New Zealand for a year

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that we are the sum total of our experiences, that experiences are really a part of us. Whereas material stuff remains separate from us.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to treat people in the way I would like to be treated.
